How to Install a 9000 LB 2 Post Lift

well explained👌🏾

Great video. How did you determine how far to position the lift from the front and rear wall?

Kind of skipped all the details on the most important step - shimming and leveling the lift on imperfect floors... what kind of shims? do you use grout? etc...

I do not have a concrete floor I plan on digging footers how deep do I need to go

I've an awful sense of foreboding that the concrete in my garage is not up to the job! I need to check this first!

NICE 😊

Teflon and hydraulic pumps are not friends. Big no no

U checked the cement for depth. But what bout rebar and such?

Do you have a video on how to replace the slider blocks on a two post Bendpak lift?

Might want to check one of your concrete anchors didn't grab, it pulled out way to far as you tightened it. Never use any tape on JIC fittings, they use a 37* taper to seal, the tape will strip the straight threads looks like they are likely 3/8" I.D JIC fitting. If the opposite end of the JIC fitting is pipe thread (taper thread) Then you must uses some sort of PFTE or telfon tape sealant. .. 13 years in the 6000psi air business. Only taper threads use sealant. BSP, ORB, JIC do not use tape, they use orings (ORB), bonded washers (BSP), and ,metal to ,metal taper (JIC).

Besides the use of Teflon tape good informative video

You don't need Teflon tape on any straight threads, jic fittings or o ring fittings. Only on taper threads.

Best video I've seen so far on how to do this. Thanks for posting it.

Very nice where to buy this lifting BOSS

What are the torque specs for the cross bar bolts and the tower extension box bolts at the top of this lift? My install manual doesn’t have them listed

I would like to install a 2 post lift in the garage
And it has to be 4 inches thick

Direct lifts are crap. The people who sell them are crap. Shitty customer service. Impossible to get fn parts. Pieces of SHIT

Mine doesn't go down all the way to baseplate, maybe 4-5 inches above making it a little to high to get arms under a car. Is there an adjustment I can make? I can jump up and down on arms while someone is holding the release lever down to get it to about three inches but can't get all the way down.

Bro... That cross bar goes at the bottom of the towers not the top. Lol

This guy should do a video once his transition is complete.

SAFETY FIRST. NOT money!!!!! That's a CHEAP ECONOMY BRAND!!! CHEAP QUALITY!! BUY REPUTABLE NAME BRAND, i.e Rotary, Bend Pak, Challenger, buy it ONCE and have peace of mind and SAFE you will BE!!!!!!

As a Millwright for 22 years like everyone else said you never use teflon tape with hydraulics. Jic fittings do not seal on the threads. You use oring boss fittings instead of teflon tape on hydraulics where you would need thread sealing. The oring does the seal.

3000 psi tensile strength concrete. Wow just wow

Excellent installation video. I feel confident that I can install this 2 post lift in my workshop after watching the video. The only thing I would want to see in the video is the use of proper PPE like dust mask, safety glasses, hearing protection. I know that isn’t affecting the installation, it’s just worth noting.
Again great video, thanks

You skipped the part I came to see, the embeds

great video, many helpful ideas, but please stop using and suggesting the use of Teflon tape on flared hydraulic fittings. Teflon tape is only for use on tapered pipe thread fittings, thank you

Teflon tape on hydraulic fittings? shakes head

Yea nice video 👍nice alopecia too 😅

after what i seen that happened to those 2 guys by using a 2 post floor lift . . . . . . nope.
even-tho it was the car manufacturer's fault . . . . still nope.

but still, good use of the floor plan, and using an adhesive to firmly secure the studs to the floor. alot of people do not do that, especially ones that erect scaffolds for use as bins for the distribution plants.
should have shown the pressure point for over height on that wire. that is the most important part.

and why not adjust the lower side to raise it, instead of doing the high side ?

How do you adjust the locks?

Bored at takes more than any 4in

I do a lot of footer work and would recommend using Hilti HY200 epoxy. When dealing with footers and embedded bolts HY200 is the only epoxy engineers will approve with embedments in existing concrete.

Great!!!

Lmfao I put the arms on by myself and it was easy as hell... what a couple of little girls.

All I can say for installing your lift DO NOT use epoxy on your anchors!!! I used epoxy on mine and half of the anchors pulled right back out of the hole!!! I have never used epoxy before and never had trouble!!

What's the distance? It was time lapse through that.

Teflon tape and hydraulic fittings are a no no. The fittings are 37 degree JIC and you don’t ever use Teflon tape. The seal is not the nut it’s the tapered fitting

Hi there Ive made video on my car lift installation and review and its quiet handy as my model is 2 post H base and only needs 4 inch concrete. Check it out as it might be quiet helpful.
its a single phase lift, but also comes in 3 phase model.

So the concrete needs to be 1) at least 4" thick, 2) 4,000 PSI strength and 3) reinforced. Good but he only tests for the thickness. What about the other 2 requirements? Did I miss that being checked. Teflon tape on hydraulic connections??? He might be a nice fellow but I have doubts about his "expertise."

What type of tools are required for this?

Short answer is, pay a certified professional to do it... In my country this is basis for a lawsuit

No ear protection???!!!

you don't give any distances from the garage door opening or walls><<??

Thank you and Well done.......I would worry that over time the shims will sink into the concrete.

What are those anchor bolts you used? I have never seen one hammered in like that. Thanks.

This is something that should be professionally installed I learned today oh well

i would weld a steel plate underneath the posts
